This was our first international rental, and it was a resounding success. The building and room reminded us of a swanky new condo building back home. The room was a little small by American standards, but a palace for Bangkok. It was a effect size for my wife and I to feel like we had a safe home in the city. Also, the location is killer, as it is far enough out of the chaos of the core city, but literally a stone's throw to the rail station that was very easy to use to get into town for about $1 each. Amy left us water and plenty of other little things to use so we didn't want for anything. Wifi was great for calls home, and the building security is alert and friendly. All in all, I don't think we could have done much better anywhere in Bangkok. We loved staying at Amy's lovely apartment and will definitely contact her back if we go back to Bangkok !!!!
